[SOLVED] Help! Urgent! (Grub prompt after restoring XP)

Booting with a XP cd with Recovery Console
and typing "fixmbr" solved the problem.

---------------------

I am reinstalling XP Pro with the recovery CD sets sent by Lenovo, on a T41p that I bought used.

I had on it a Fedora distribution, that I wiped before to start the recovery process.

Now, after inserting all the recovery CDs, all the inflating-extracting automatic operation and a couple of restart asked by the installing process, I have got the

GRUB _

prompt.

What should I do?

I guess I have to wipe in some way the MBR, but how?

And then?
Should I restart entirely the recovery process?

thanks in advance for any suggestion
